Delirium Propaganda

I figure myself to be just like any ordinary Net geek. Loves all that’s news especially when it offers some new way cool feature that will revolutionize the way people use the internet. Today I noticed that many blogs and some Tech sites applauded and created much buzz around a new little start-up called Spock. A simple explanation of what Spock is can be found on their site.

Spock is the online leader in personal search, helping users find and discover people. With over one hundred million people already indexed and millions added every day, Spock is building the broadest and deepest people specific search engine.

The reason for me writing this post isn’t to marvel at what ever Spock is and how I used it for two seconds and thought it to be the best invention since the automatic bread slicer. The truth is that from what I saw Spock was a major let down, not only because I really couldn’t find any information on all the names I searched but also because the attention that Spock received by the media was way, way, way over rated. Don’t get me wrong, I do think it’s a great idea to crate a people search engine but I doubt Spock is the best that can be done, and yes I do know it’s in Beta stage, like most of the net nowadays I might add…

What I’m basically trying to say here is. Aren’t we creating a lot of fuss about every stupid little thing that pops up on the net? Do these start-ups really deserve our excitement and approval when all they really are is a beginning to something that might, or not, work. Every day I read about these wonder projects that after the much artificial hype fade away and disappear into the dark corners of the internet never to seen or heard of again. With this I conclude saying that for me Spock really had not spark!!!
